"No-one has a kinder braver heart than a flatcoat anywhere".
© IFRR
Formed in 1999 the IFRR is a group of Flatcoat devotees who with the aid of it's many volunteers and contacts offers assistance to any Flatcoat or Flatcoat cross in need of help or rehoming.
How we help.
With the help of our network of volunteers we are able to manage most situations where a Flatcoat may need assistance. In the case of rehoming each dog is assessed to enable us to match it with the most suitable home on our waiting list. All prospective new homes are vetted and each situation treated individually.
Where possible we will work with the parting owner and the new owner to enable us to rehome 'home to home'. There are occasions when our dogs need to be fostered until the right home is found for them, we try to carry out each rehoming with as little stress to the dogs as possible.
We are funded solely by donations and various fundraising events, we also have a quarterly magazine which is packed with interesting features about Flatcoats and the stories of the dogs that have been rehomed.
To subscribe to the the magazine email: anniecollett2@talktalk.net
How you can help.
Enquiries in association with our work are always welcome and we are always happy for new volunteers to join our team. If you think you can help with fostering, transport,home-checking or in any other way we would love to hear from you.

Meet The Boys
Two boys who are very special to IFRR are Murphy & Guiness. They needed help because their owner sadly was too ill to look after them.
They had been together all their lives so couldn't be split up. To find a permanent, knowledgeable home for two delinquent oap's would not be the easiest task, it was therefore decided they should stay in the care of the IFRR.

Our beautiful boys, we feel very priviledged to have known you and miss you each day.
To know them was to love them.
